Pros
Stability - Emerson only rarely lays people off and even then alot of it is voluntary. Flexible schedule - I never had a problem taking off work.
Cons
They like many big companies promote the incompetence, because they don't want to lose their best works. Their Raise program is abysmal they only give managers 3.1% of their salary pools to give out raises. This means that the often the highest paid person in the group gets a smaller raise so that manager can give other team members better raises. IT Shared Services - If they where a hosting company like they claim they want to be for internal divisions they'd be bankrupt 10yrs before they started. Worse run datacenter I have ever seen. This is even more sad because our PM datacenter in Austin is run wonderfully. The main problem is unmotivated workers and understaffing I believe. Finally and the biggest issue for me is unmotivated workers. Because it's so hard to get fired here most workers are as unmotivated as Government workers. Things that get you fired at most companies are easily over looked at Emerson. Pretty sure I'd have to steal alot from the company or sexually assault someone to get fired.
